how old is everyone here?

[daveycleaning]

hey guys i was just wondering hot old everyone is because i am just getting into TH and i have found that a lot of people are older. Which is cool because of the experience but i was wondering why there is not very many younger people like me. I am 20 years old. just thought it would be interesting!

52 years in age, 42 years of treasure hunting. Most young people avoid this activity now because it is real work, and their not very tough in my humble opinion. Just my 2 cents worth.

Well Slingshot, you're absolutely correct! Detectin has got to be in ones blood. One has got to have the frame of mind to feelin thrilled about spendin hours detectin and not findin anything of value! 8)

And ya got me beat! I'm only 50 with just 35 years experience!

43 as of Saturday. Got my birthday present on Sunday though. After going through my yard at least 10 times I pulled out a 1909 Indian Head!!! No S on it though. Up until two months ago I was a retail manager. Took a 9-5 job, no more weekends. Finally last month I found my first two wheats, same yard!!

Time for silver and gold!!
